On Thursdays we have a weekly prayer group, called “Prayer Knot,” using “Zoom”. We start at 6:00 pm, and go for 30-45 minutes. Please email pastor@maranadisciples.org for the link and password each week.
You may be wondering how you can give to the church during this time. Here are a few options: You can mail us your tithe to P.O. Box 26, Marana, Az. 85653; You can click the green "Give" button below or the "Donate Online" button in the menu; or you can stop by the office during business hours. Thank you for your continued support.
On Sunday mornings, we invite you to join us for worship at 9 am or 10:30 am. We no longer have any restrictions regarding masks (you may wear one or not). Come as you are! We do invite everyone to be respectful of one another’s personal space.
Starting on June 13th Youth Class will resume in person at 10:30 in the youth room. Grades 6-12 and those who have graduated 5th grade are welcome. Holly and DeShawn will be leading class.
Dear Church,
Many of you have been asking about when we will re-open. I like what one pastor of a large
church has said – “we have never been closed,” and instead he’s talking about when the church
will re-gather! I like that. And yes, we are going to re-gather on Sunday, June 7 th for an outdoor
worship. It won’t be “Church in the Park.” Instead, it will be “Church in the Parking Lot!” To
beat the heat, we will start at 7 am, and worship will last about 45 minutes.

that’s probably the least we can say about it. There have been blessings during this time, yes!
But let’s not pretend – for many of us, staying at home has been difficult. For some, it has
meant loneliness, for others, it has meant financial distress. And for those who have been
blessed to continue with work, there may be added health concerns, and/or added hours that
feel exhausting. I continue to give thanks that no one from our church has contracted
coronavirus, though I have spoken with some of you about family and friends who have; I share
your concern and, in a few cases, grief.…

In Jesus’ name, greetings. Please keep reading to connect with various educational, worship, and prayer opportunities through Resurrection Sunday (Easter).
What a month it has been. I don’t have to tell you that just about everything is different. In some ways, the differences are, to say the least, bad: sickness and death from the coronavirus being the worst of it; layoffs and financial stressors being near the top of that list, too; all the way down to wondering if there will be toilet paper in the store the next time you go there. In addition, some people are feeling the loneliness from the abrupt social isolation, especially those who live alone. In other ways, the differences, at least for some, have been positive: less running around, more time with family, more opportunities to catch up with home projects and/or serving others; more time to read the Bible. I’m wondering if I’m going to get sick of on-line meetings… but right now, I have to say, it’s good to see people without having to get in my car to get to those meetings. …
